Help [DVD] [2007]

Product Information

John, Paul, George and Ringo are chased around the world by a cult leader who wants Ringo's mysterious ring. Altogether, this is a boxed set that belongs in every Beatles' fan's video library, and a perfect example of filmmaking from the mid-60s. Still, a certain feeling of joy comes over me whenever I watch something of theirs on home video, since I recognize just how much the 13-year-old me would have delighted in the material. Is it my imagination, or were a number of the scenes highly influential on the Monkees a year or so later? Unlike the first film, they all seem somewhat disconnected from each other here, so while we still get the witty banter, it comes across more as lines read from a page.

This set also includes an authentic reproduction of the original shooting script complete with hand-written notes, 8 colorful theatrical lobby cards, a folded movie poster, and a 60-page photo book containing stills from the movie. We also get to see the boys in various locations in England, including the Salisbury Plain, as well as in the Austrian Alps and The Bahamas. Language - Regardless of country of origin all tracks are sung in English, unless otherwise stated in our description. The limited edition boxset includes a reproduction of the original script, a hardback book (featuring photographs taken on the sets, an introduction by Richard Lester and an appreciation by Martin Scorsese), a reproduction 1965 theatrical poster and 8 US theatrical lobby cards, as well as 2 DVD's-the first is the film, the second features documentaries, trailers etc. Director Richard Lester provides some brief memories of the film’s creation while Martin Scorsese gives us an appreciation for the Beatles, Lester, and the flick.Without these technologies, things like personalised recommendations, your account preferences, or localisation may not work correctly. And yet they took us to Austria, took us up a mountain, gave us our boots (that nobody even laced up), gave us our skis, said, 'Turn over, take one. I wasn't to be dissuaded that easily, so my Dad and I and one other car stuck it out all the way until it ended. This deluxe boxed set includes the feature film on a DVD disc, plus a second disc containing rare footage of the band on location with director Richard Lester, theatrical trailers, interviews with crew members and cast co-stars Victor Spinetti and Eleanor Bron, and more. The DVD book is wrapped in Beatles paper, which is then packaged with the book in it's own box, which is then completely packaged in it's own box.

We now take for granted the easy availability of movies on home video formats, but in 1980, it wasn't quite so simple. Most other DVD's I have are fine but I do have a couple of others that were fine and suddenly they get frozen. As an aside, this film is an exact contemporary of the Dave Clark Five’s “Catch Us If You Can” – indeed they ran simultaneously on differing cinema circuits back in 1965.

So as a 13-year-old in 1980, I either took in the rare theatrical screening of a Beatles picture or I hoped for an even-rarer TV showing. Most of the material stayed in the realm of general ambience, without many scenes that broadened matters in a significant way. com et faire livrer leurs commandes à n’importe quelle adresse ou n’importe quel magasin aux États-Unis.
